    I would have just said no, but I don’t know if military can do that:

    “The personnel action was reversed, though, when it was determined that no other pilot was immediately available to operate the aircraft for the return flight.”

        He should fly the plane like he’s eluding fighter jets or SAMs. Maybe throw in a barrel roll or two. Definitely should go hard on takeoff and landing.

        I imagine that would be a career-limiting decision for a military pilot.

        If he instead acts “professionally”, which means putting up with her bullshit for the rest of the day, then he has a decent chance of getting quickly reassigned to a role where he doesn’t have to deal with her again.

          Which , I’m sure, would make him very happy.

    Makes me wonder if blanket transfer is on the checklist. I know pilots rely a lot of checklists, so if it wasn’t on the list, then the checklist maker is the one at fault and should immediately self-report to Leavenworth to await general court martial and inevitable incarceration.

      Unfair to Linus, who is a kind and caring individual. For instance young Snoopy often stole his blanket and he never shot the puppy.

    I’m having grave and serious flashback of Mike matei and his interpretation of elmo and his lost blanket. The edgiest most embarassing thing online up to this day. If you don’t know what is this, maybe you also shouldn’t look for it, it’s tremendously stupid.

    Finally they’re doing something about the corruption in the Coast Guard!
